51 Ways to Blog as a Novelist
We all know that blogging is one of the best ways to get attention in today's Internet world. A blog is a godsend to your website, bringing it traffic, fans, and more. But you have to post regularly.
Stuck for what to blog about? Here are some tips for novelists, but the same tips can apply to writers of nonfiction, memoirs, children's books, business books, and more.
- Review other novels, especially from other lesser-known novelists.
- Write a blog post using the voice of one of your main characters.
- Have that main character tell some side stories not included in the novel.
- Write about the setting - time and/or place. Use some of the research you did to ensure that your novel was accurate.
- Invite your readers to review your book. Feature their testimonials on your blog.
- Interview some of your readers: via Q&A text or via an Internet radio show or via a teleseminar.
- Podcast your book, one section at a time.
- Write about trends in your genre.
- Write about your favorite novelists, especially those that write in your genre. Include their photos and a sampling of their books.

Hi everyone,
I want to let you all know that my third book “Chasing Snow” has just been proved for publication.
My second book “Shoveling the Tide” will be released in Feb 2010
The third, “Chasing Snow” will be sometime after that, probably a few months later.
The first, “Street Business” is available and you can read about it on http://www.street-business.com
I have a fourth finished, but I will not submit it for a few weeks.
I am going to set up a new site very soon. The Street - Business site in only partially up and the new site will be up in a couple of weeks.
I am working on book five and six as we speak.
All books can be obtained through Comfort Publishing at www.comfortpublishing.con as well as Amazon, Borders and Barns & Noble.
Thank you all for your interest in my books.
Ernie Sr.

Review: for An Author's Nightmare. A 4.5 rating out of 1 to 5.
Kate Landen is a best-selling author but not of romance. No she is a talented author of crime and loves writing the stories. Writing is her whole life so she never has time for real romance until she meets Curt. He is everything she never thought she would have in her life. He is sweet, romantic, sexy and he is all hers. Just like a fairy tale they marry yet like all marriages she doubts her husband. Each night he leaves and this confuses her. Along with his disappearing she starts hearing voices in her head. Not a nice voice but one that is sinister and gives her chills every day. The only comfort she has from this voice is her writing. Yet what's most strange is that her writings are coming to life.
As an author this is great but the parts that are coming to life are the ones that she knows are gruesome and violent. Her best friend is dead because of her and now others are dying by a dozen. Each time she writes something happens. As a writer she knows she has a gift but she never thought this gift would become life like. Curt has no idea what is going on but knows his wife is afraid. He knows he is not the strong hero like in her stories but wants more than ever to find the killer that is in her head. Is she going crazy or are stories coming to life without her knowing?
An Author's Nightmare is one chilling story that will make you grip the pages wanting to find out who the killer is. Is Kate imagining things or are they for real? This is something that kept going around and around in my mind. The author is very talented for teasing this reviewer and her readers will love it. Each killing that occurs is one that will make you wonder why and what part does Kate have in everything. The suspense is definitely there but so is the horror of finding out who the killer is? Not only does Jennifer Robins have a clever mind but also she has such an imaginative mind for creating this suspenseful novel.
Happy reading and writing,
